UK/France/Germany would still be allies and keep Europe safe and EU would still be there.
The biggest reason we have problem with Russia in EU is because of US meddling in Syria/Iran/Russia/Ukraine for economic reasons and trying to get gas/oil under control for Saudi Arabian interest.
I said NATO would fall apart. It cannot sustain itself without US money and hardware. It simply cant. NATO requirements state that NATO signatories contribute 2% of GDP to military spending. Most NATO allies can't even do that.
If one thing this thread has proven is that Europeans are happy to use US military strength in order to keep their military costs outsourced and not have to take responsibility for their own defense AND they are all too happy to blame the US for the sorry state of their militaries.
Ah! Starting to fee3l unloved because us Europeans seem like ungrateful oiks?
Seriously, take your military out of our countries and leave us to our doom in that case, we'd all welcome it.
Disband NATO and us Europeans will deal with it quite nicely.
America can then go fight it's own created conflicts and leave us the hell out of it, thank you very much!
There would be nothing left to hold off any invasion, nothing left to respond to military emergencies.
But after everything posted in the OP, the notion that European countries will be able to respond to military emergencies in a fashion that would guarantee victory is laughable.
Iraq/Libya and all other Arab spring where Wahabbi/salafi where inserted for Saudi Arabian Interest with the help of US military. It seems you are the one who have no clue what have been going on for the last 2 decades.
But then you are the kind who is so uniformed that you do not know Saudi Arabia is part of the Wahabbi/salafi problem that US keep hunting in ISIS or other fundamentalist form
To much FOX news I guess.
What does FOX news have to do with anything I have spoken of? I didn't even use them as a source.

NATO is on its way to collapsing as an organization anyway.
But after everything posted in the OP, the notion that European countries will be able to respond to military emergencies in a fashion that would guarantee victory is laughable.
Emoticons and childish politically charged quips don't address European military problems.
Why wouldn't we be able to respond to anything? Your arrogance is astounding!
How are we meant to respond to such arrogant and childish assertions?
Your position that without the USA we'd all be flailing helplessly waiting for the USA to step in and save us all is astoundingly funny.
Seriously, take all your military from our shores and leave us to our doom...please!
FOX news like everything else on cable is garbage.
Except for AMC and only because they have The Walking Dead...

Can't argue with you there.
Who can argue with the Walking Dead?
